Back in the swing of things

We survived enjoyed Spring Break. Lots going on: A birthday for a big 4-year-old boy (including party with other 4-year-olds and the chaos that entails). Outings to parks, library, dinosaur museum, quilt stores, and to visit Dad at work. Watching The Princess and the Frog on DVD multiple times. A wedding most of Saturday. Time spent with friends that we don’t see when kids are in school. Whew. Also nice to sleep in a little and read The Help (didn’t want to put it down.). It’s great to do fun things with the kids, but I sure don’t get much done around here. And we go through so much more food! (I’m starting to panic a little about summer vacation.)

So today it has been nice to get back to our routines. This morning I let my boys play in the bath for half an hour while I cleaned the bathroom, changed the sheets, and folded laundry. (During which time they also emptied a bottle of shampoo.)

I’m also trying to get caught up on my etsy stuff. Above are a few projects in the works. Maybe I’ll even have it together enough to update this weekend!

And now I’m off to do all the errands I haven’t been able to do for two weeks – including re-stock the fridge!!

Oh I love the holidays with the girls at home and friends through the house and all the mess and clatter and unstructured days! But it doesn&#39;t half leave the house looking like a jumble sale! Its the amount of bread and jam that is eaten in the holidays which amazes me- I can make two or three loaves a day and only just keep up with the demand!!

I read The Help a few weeks ago and couldn&#39;t put it down. I was an awful mom for the 24 hours it took me to finish it. <br /><br />I hope you are cutting some more retro styled I Spy charm packs. I am collecting more squares and want to make a large lap sized quilt. I love the other pack I got from you. Maybe we could trade some fabric?

we are going through all sorts of schedule re-adjusting too. My daughter is back in pre-school after spring break (she didn&#39;t want me to leave her today) and my husband has 30 days leave while we prep for baby/move/new job. Good times.<br /><br />How do you do those cool collages with your photos?
